IL2 and windows 7 (64bit)

[Feuerfalke]

Win7 64 HP here. No issues with IL2 or Hyperlobby. Running normally, not in admin-mode and definitely not in compatibility mode.

Disable UAC and maybe WindowsDefender.

Don't be offended by this question, but, between version 4.07 on the DVD and version 4.09, did you install patch 4.08? I forgot to do this myself recently, and spent a lot of time wondering what was going on.

[Feuerfalke]

Have you set resolutions and refreshrates as in your previous OS? It's possible that you forgot a monitor-driver or there's a wrong readout in Win7, so it cannot produce the wanted resolution you set in the IL2conf.ini?

Settings are fine. I did a clean install of win7 (format) downloaded all the latest drivers for my pc. So no problems there. I installed all the patches. first 4.08 then 4.09 + 4.09 skins.

In just even bought the 4.09 version from www.GoG.com. Even better!! It installs for 1/3 and then quits... pfftt... this gonna take a lot of time. Hope I can fix it.

BTW I offer one million spacebucks for the golden sollution ;p

I know it is normally forbidden to ask but it might solve my problem. Is there a 4.09m nocd exe arround? I'm asking this cause it might be a securerom issue!

Just google, but I think the old ones work ??? Its been a few months since I reinstalled, so don't remember everything. You may be looking at a format ...... there is nothing wrong with this os and IL2. It actually runs damn fine and I have a quadcore. Don't need to set cpu or anything.

I remember a couple of dudes over at the ubizoo mentioned you can't install IL 2 to the program folder, IL-2 has to write stuff back to the config file and windows 7 (took this from Vista) only lets admins write to that folder. Since IL-2 cannot be granted such access . . . it won't work.

Make a games folder in your root C: and put it in there.

It is most likely a securom issue. Try the following.

Go here: https://support.securom.com/analysis.php

Download the SecuROM diag tool and run a scan. Just get it to update the nessesary files and it should then run.

I recently asked about this issue on the UBI HelpDesk forum. As always they are a helpful bunch and will email a fix for the 'spinning disc'. Check out ....

"No, it's not as dire as you think. Windows 7 x64 here, running just fine in Devon UK.

Firstly, not all copies of 1946 sold in the UK are SecuRom "protected". Next, if you do encounter the "spinning disc" problem then let us know and someone will post you the very simple fix."
